One of the Respected Royal fathers in Owu Kingdom in person of Towulade of Akinale joined his ancestors recently in a London Hospital, would you like to talk about his life and legacies?
“On late Oba OLUFEMI Ogunleye Towulade of Akinale, an enigma of huge stature. I referred to his transition as a “library burnt” because he was a reservoir of repository knowledge, document and tradition.Â
He rose from the bottom of self help to traditional leadership, correspondence education to formal education at old age of 70years and the feat of starting a different profession from journalism and public relations to law. He studied first degree, masters and almost completed a doctorate degree in law at 79years.Â
He died with great knowledge apart from the ones he authored, wrote and presented. He was one personality that knew my forebearers and often reminded me of the huge value of Orunto institution in the Owu Kingdom.Â
I can’t remember him enough at once; a journalist of repute, foremost public relation personality, prolific writer, educated historian and traditionalist. Owu Kingdom Abeokuta will not quickly forget him in the annals of our history in terms of customs and traditions.”
